New elevator installation includes the full setup of an elevator system, from the hoistway and guide rails to the machine, cab, controller, and doors. Most installations occur during new construction, but we also perform full replacements when older systems are beyond modernization, such as when the structure has severe damage, obsolete specs, or environmental hazards like asbestos.
Unlike modernization, which works within the limits of an existing hoistway, new construction allows more design flexibility. When we are brought in early, we work with the design team to coordinate proper pit depth, overhead clearance, structural support, electrical requirements, and code compliance from day one. This prevents delays, eliminates guesswork, and creates a smoother installation from top to bottom.
We install a range of vertical transportation systems tailored to each environment:
Passenger Elevators
Designed for comfort, performance, and code compliance in buildings that serve the public or staff.
Freight and Service Elevators
Built to handle heavy loads or utility transport with durability and functionality as the top priorities.
Dumbwaiters
A practical solution for transporting small items between floors in restaurants, private homes, or commercial kitchens.
Home Elevators
We install non-proprietary residential elevators that blend function with comfort. These systems are ideal for aging in place, multilevel access, or homes with mobility needs.
Wheelchair Lifts
We install vertical platform lifts and inclined lifts that provide safe and code-compliant access without the need for a full elevator shaft.
Every system includes a number of major components that must be planned and installed precisely:
Elevator Car: The cab that moves passengers or freight
Machine: Hydraulic or traction drive, depending on building height and use
Controller: The system brain, coordinating travel, leveling, and door timing
Safety Systems: Overspeed governors, braking systems, and buffers
Doors and Operators: Entrance systems that control access and secure passengers
Guide Rails and Hoistway: The structural path the elevator travels
Electrical and Communication Systems: Including emergency controls and interface with the building’s fire and power systems
We work with non-proprietary systems whenever possible to ensure future service flexibility and lower long-term costs.
Hydraulic Elevators
Ideal for low-rise buildings up to six or seven stories. These systems are often more affordable to install and require less overhead space. They are well-suited to buildings with limited structural flexibility or lower travel speeds. Options include machine-room-less designs for a more compact footprint.
Traction Elevators
Best for mid to high-rise buildings. These systems offer faster, smoother rides and better long-term energy efficiency. They require a machine room or overhead space and generally involve more complex planning, but offer superior performance and ride quality.
Elevator installation timelines vary based on the type of system, number of stops, and complexity of the building. Residential elevators and wheelchair lifts can often be completed in a matter of weeks. Commercial installations, particularly those in multi-story buildings or custom applications, may require several months from planning to final inspection.
The timeline begins well before equipment arrives on site. Planning, permitting, coordination with the building contractor, and lead times for materials all play a role. We work closely with your project team to create a clear schedule, minimize disruptions, and ensure each milestone is met without surprises.
When possible, we recommend involving Boyer Elevator early in the design phase. This allows us to review hoistway sizing, electrical requirements, machine space, and code compliance before construction begins. Early coordination avoids delays later and sets the foundation for a smooth and successful installation.
We are an independent company that values practicality and precision over sales targets. We recommend the right system for your building—not the most expensive option or the brand we are tied to. Because we are not locked into one manufacturer, we select equipment based on what will serve you best long after construction is complete.
You will have direct access to our team throughout the project. We do not outsource communication or hide behind vague updates. Our installations are built for long-term performance and future service—not short-term profit.
